What Electricians Say of Taking Life by
Means of a Battery.
An electrician at the Edison building,
In Pearl street, where electricity is
manufactured for illuminating pur-
poses, was asked how people might be
killed with neatness and dispatch by
electricity. He said that it was the
easiest matter in the world. All con-
1emned man would have to do at the
hour and moment when he was to leave
the world for brighter chimes, would be
to take hold of two wires, one connected
with positive battery and the other
with 4 negative battery. Acting thus
as q conductor between the two wires
the electricity would go through him
like stroke of Ii ghtning. He would
die in an infinitesimal fraction of a
second His taking off would be rs
painless rs it was sudden. He would
never know what had hit him.
lie might stand on two plates, re.
,eive the electric current through hi,
toes and die with his boots on. He
might sit in chair with his feet rest.

INDIAN POTTERY.
Regions In tho Mexican Repaeiic Wherc
the old Art Stiii Survives.

the Olu <kft sim feh'''
1t is thought by some that ornament,
al patterns on pottery are handcd
down by savages from one generation
to another. This is not true OF our
Indian, who, after making q pot. orna-
ments it with improvised designs. lie
has no pattern-books to guide him.
Indians of New Mexico accustomed to
pottcry-making have. since their con
tact with whites. given attention to
more elaborate ornamentatloni Just as
those of Mexico meet demand and
lind their way into public and private
collections. The most noticeable
change in technique is the use OF AMI
ma, and human forms, which. though
not unknown on older pieces, are rare.
Toy forms Of pottery AMI those animal
and human designs which met the
rcadiest sale have been most improved
by kind ot natural selection.
The thirst for antiquities has also
stimulated the native artists To initiate
them. In the City of Mexico an Italian
made good living for tire, years
making stone sculptures In imitation
of antiquities. The writer saw some
of his works, hut they were easily de-
tected. The children all had European
faces. and the delicate parts OF the
body were two we'll worked out. Near
the city of Mexico live a settlement OF
Indians who have the credit of manu-
;cturing clever limitations of ancient
pottery. The noble custom of excit-
ing In children the love Of tho beauti-
full through toys and dolls was not neg
lected by the ancient Mcxicans. Even
Il, our day striking example is the
manufacture of toys in great profusion
ut Guadalaiara, which are sold not only
throughout the republic, but outside.
They are taken on the backs of men
and animals packed in baskets and
crates. These toys are very truthfu!
representations of the manners and
Customs of the people. For the rude
apparatus employed, they are truly re-
markable The most interesting fact
about this ware is the way in which the
artist holds on to ancient forms, and in
the decoration yields himself absolutely
to the whims and demands of the mar
ket He even borrows from the Span
lard the art OF silvering and regilding.
This almost total hiding of the old
thing which they are unwilling to give
up. with paint and forms to which theiI
old art was a stranger. is also seen in
their gourd vessels.
The pitchers from Toluca. once sim
pie, unnozzled vessels, are lost in the
large spouts, altered handles, polished
surface, elaborate decoration, glazing
and stamping. Still, one may visit re-
| gions in Mexico where the old art still
survives. The Pames, near the Vale
del Maiz. and the Huastecas, the In
dams of Sierra Nola and of Savanito,
away from the influence of innovations,
make their pottery as of old. simple in
form and decoration. Ed,C0rd Palmer,

rne SONG THE SIRENS SANG,

In sea caves dark and rocks where hides
The restless wind that haunts the sea-
Where murmuring waves anu moaning t'ae'
Chant their unceasing melody;
In meadows bright with fadeless spring,
where dead mems bones the light denies,
What were the songs they used TO sing
The sirens of this sunny isles
Soft breathed and tender, sweet and low,
Across the waters dark and wild,
The wanderer heard their numbers now,
And all his soul their charm beguiled;
Swift through the breakers snowy foam
He drove his bark with painting BREATH
Forgetting wife and child and home,
While sirens sang him 10 his death
we know their songs-they had but one
Odysseus heard the fateful thing;
And madness seized Laertes' son,
Who heard .The Flowers that Bloom
Spring.
And sim unchanged In air or word,
The sirens sing, with tireless breath,
The same old song Ulysses heard,
And with II stu sing men to DEATH
